Zoe told him just then, "Get some rest, Bob."
"Yeah."
With that, she got up and left, though she turned around at the door to glance at him.
He was flat on his back, his eyes covered under his hand.
But the tears flowing from underneath were visible anyway.
If only…
No. No ifs—Bob would meet the one he was destined for in life.
With that, Zoe left.
She had actually noticed Jay listening to their conversation from outside the door for a while.
However, he never came in—it was his gesture of respect.
"You should talk to him," Zoe told him.
"Yeah." Jay nodded, while she earnestly felt that it was worth being alive just then.

Meanwhile, Quinn had considerable difficulty helping Sam to the car and driving him home.
She drove as slowly as possible—she was that bad at driving and was concerned Sam would get sick if the journey was too bumpy.
The car was basically a snail crawling on the road, and there was no telling how long it took for her to finally reach the parking lot.
After stopping, she opened the door to the back seat and stared at Sam, who was out like a light.
Eventually, she steeled herself to wake him up. "Get up, Sam. We're home. You can sleep on the bed."
As Sam did not move at all, she pressed, "Come on, Sam. Get up."
Sam frowned in annoyance. "Shut it…"
"Be good. You can sleep in the house—it's really uncomfortable doing it in the car."
